Zarathustra the cat, is the muse behind this collection of whimsical artwork. He was (still is) much loved and spoilt growing up, lending to his big personality and stature (all 10 kilograms). Svetlana Petrova, the artist and mastermind, credits the cat for bringing her out of a deep depression following her mother’s death. “I lost my mother in 2008 and she left me Zarathustra. I got horrible depression after her death and for two years I was unable to do something creative. By chance a friend asked me ‘why don’t you make an art project with your cat because he’s so funny’ “.

The result is 300 pages of cleverly remixed artworks with an alternative dose of art history weaved in the artist’s narration. We said it before, and will say this again: this is the purrfect gift for cat lovers. Everyone needs a copy today!
